Congrats to The City of Sturgeon Bay for bringing back its summer concert series (“Harmony by the Bay”) in 2011. This season sees six performances that will run each Wednesday night starting June 15 through August 31st in Martin Park (3rd and Oregon). Sturgeon Bay has needed to raise the profile of its music scene for many years, and looking at the line-up of artists it seems the penny has dropped.

Harmony by the Bay Performances begin at 7 PM

Bring Lawn Chairs or Blankets! In case of rain, performances will be held at the Lodge at Leathem Smith

**Letter sent to to Melissa Ripp and the PPulse in response to recent article**

I’m a music venue owner in Egg Harbor and my music program has suffered this season in part due to the presence of the PE PAC. It has, both by its existence and by the way in which it promotes itself, created a very uneven playing field for music in Door County.
I have blogged about this subject (prior to Melissa’s excellent article) and encourage people with an opinion to post their views. The only point in Melissa’s article that I disagree with is that the music program at the PE impacts (negatively) any venue with a music program on a Sunday night. It, in my opinion, negatively impacts any venue with a music program on any night of the week, and I’ve explained this at length on my blog post at the above link.
Kudos to Melissa for presenting the facts behind what is going on with live music in DC, and I encourage her to dig deeper, the smaller, family funded and family operated venues, need this to be brought out into the open.

Sincerely,
